@impq.bsky.social full marks for the inclusion of “Monstegur” in your ideal Maiden set list. That choice was chewier than Barrow-In-Furness bus depot.

I spent the past few days checking claims of legal action against the Dalton mosque development.
A GoFundMe raised nearly £12,000 and has since been removed.
The organisers have declined to explain the funds or the removal.

In Cumbrian dialect, elm is 'wych-wood'

Elm is a strong, neutral wood that can be used in protection and fertility spells. You can use the wood and flowers in love spells.
